We don't really see Elsa and Anna receiving any training on how to behave around people and thus make good political choices... Elsa abandoning her kingdom at the first sign of her powers manifesting doesn't really ping me as queenly, you know? It ties in with the "people hiding" thing--there could have been a MUCH more interesting conflict if Anna was let in on the secret and it could be about the sisters (and the kingdom!) working together to protect what amounts to the most amazing military secret of all. (That would have made Weselton an even more worthy villain, perhaps an even more complicated and interesting one.) There's a lot that politically doesn't make sense to me about how the sisters were raised, but that is my worldbuilding sense tingling.
And I agree with you about Hans and Anna! Even if they didn't end up together they would still have had the "goofy younger siblings annoying the elder one" dynamic. Plus, I think Elsa would be appreciative of how Hans practically ran the kingdom quite smoothly, soothing the population, while she was gone. Political ambition isn't always a bad thing, so I'm sad they went with what they did. (I already have reparative fic in my head.)
I really like that the Kristoff/Anna relationship was so underdeveloped, too; it was quite buddy-movie like, their dynamic.
